Prime Minister Narendra Modi is undertaking a significant three-nation diplomatic tour from June 15 to 19, 2025. His visit begins with Cyprus (June 15–16), continues to Canada for the G7 Summit (June 16–17), and concludes with a landmark official visit to Croatia (June 18).
1. Cyprus: Reviving EU-India Engagement
PM Modi’s visit to Cyprus is the first by an Indian PM in over 20 years. This step is seen as a strategic move to deepen EU–India relations. Key areas of discussion include trade, defense cooperation, digital partnerships, and cultural exchanges. His meeting with Cypriot leadership aims to rejuvenate diplomatic ties.
2. Canada: G7 and Rebuilding Bilateral Relations
In Canada, PM Modi will participate in the G7 Summit held in Toronto. He was invited personally by Canadian PM Mark Carney, marking an attempt to stabilize the India–Canada relationship, which faced recent diplomatic turbulence.
The summit agenda includes topics such as energy security, artificial intelligence, quantum innovation, and climate sustainability. Modi is expected to hold a bilateral meeting with PM Carney, which could serve as a turning point in Indo-Canadian diplomacy.
3. Croatia: Strengthening Strategic Outreach
On June 18, PM Modi will visit Croatia—the first-ever official visit by any Indian Prime Minister. The focus will be on enhancing cooperation in investment, tourism, defense manufacturing, and digital innovation. This leg of the tour is poised to open a new chapter in India’s engagement with Eastern Europe.
Conclusion
This high-level diplomatic visit reflects India’s proactive global policy. It is also Modi’s first foreign mission post “Operation Sindoor,” further solidifying India’s growing presence and respect on the world stage.
